Elk Rock Island is an island on the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon.[2] The 12- to 13-acre (4.9- to 5.3-ha) island, formed 40 million years ago by a volcano, was given to Portland by Peter Kerr in 1940.[3][4][5] The city of Milwaukie took ownership of the park in April 2016.[6] The island is accessible via Spring Park.
